The 32GB Nexus 5 Has Already Sold Out Once

If you're tempted to order a Nexus 5, I wouldn't faff about. Within two hours of going on sale, the 32GB model has already sold through one allocation.

While initial orders for the 32GB model promised to ship in "1-2 business days", the 32GB model is now listed as "Leaves warehouse by November 8", meaning it's part of a second batch. As I write this the cheaper 16GB model still ships near-instantly, but who knows how long that will last?

I ordered mine at about 7:20am this morning, and got told that it leaves the warehouse in 1-2 days, but that it was taking longer than usual to process my order, and I'd receive an email when it was processed. I got an email about a minute after that, though I'm not sure if that's the final confirmation, or if that was a confirmation that I'd placed an order.

Glad I ordered when I did, as I knew the Nexus 4 sold out quickly and there were all sorts of issues in shipping after that and expected a similar thing today.

Singapore??? I live in Singapore, Nexus phones are not available here via Play (although you can get it through unauthorised channels). Google needs to get its act together, they could have half the market here (Samsung can fight for the other half with Apple), Singaporeans love gadgets, they'll buy it without hesitation.

Theyre now out of stock. Looks liked Google has pulled the same shitty stunt they did last year and are probably now going to make us wait 3 months for more stock. How f*cking stupid. Seriously, can you imagine Apple doing this to themselves? Why would a company as big as Google limit their stock when the N4 sold like hot cakes last year, and the Nexus brand has gained such a large following? They're shooting themselves in the foot. Bloody ridiculous.

Yesterdays' announcement of the new Samsung Galaxy Fold might not have been as well executed as a famous Steve Jobs reveal but it was every bit as revolutionary. In the same way the iPhone and iPad completely changed what we expected from mobile devices, the Samsung Fold is poised to change the tech world. But while the hardware looks incredible, it's the software I want to focus on. In that brief glimpse, we saw how far iOS has fallen behind Android.

You've now had 24 hours to digest the Samsung Galaxy S10 smartphone and its bevy of game-changing features. If you've decided this phone is for you, pre-ordering from Samsung direct is a pretty smart option. But what if you can't afford to buy one outright?
